News Update

Downtown Alameda and West Alameda Business District Associations have partnered with Digifli to bring dynamic
community bulletin boards to Alameda. This partnership will bring cutting-edge technology to the community and help keep
residents informed about local events and news.

Electronic bulletin boards are being installed in local businesses throughout Alameda providing real-time updates on
events, promotions, fundraisers, and other important information. The boards will be interactive and allow users to access
additional information and resources through QR codes that link to websites.

“We are thrilled to bring this new technology to our community,” said Linda Asbury, Executive Director of the West
Alameda Business Association. “We believe that these bulletin boards will help to foster greater communication,
collaboration, and engagement among our local residents and businesses, which will ultimately benefit everyone in our
community.”

The new bulletin boards feature “upcycled” high-resolution displays and a user-friendly interface that makes it easy
for members of the community to stay informed and engaged. The boards will be strategically located within local
independent businesses in high-traffic areas throughout Alameda, making it convenient for people to access the information
they need and easy for the associations to get information out to the community.

“Providing our community access to this technology helps bridge an informational divide. This accessible, dynamic
and user-friendly platform enables businesses, artists and organizations to easily share information and effectively engage
our community. Digifli offers a local solution tailored to local residents and businesses.“ said Kathy Weber, Executive Director
of Downtown Alameda Business Association.

Digifli’s electronic bulletin boards are powered by a secure and user-friendly platform that makes it easy for
organizations to manage and update content. The platform also provides detailed analytics, allowing advertisers to track the
effectiveness of their communications.

“Our mission at Digifli is to foster communities by supporting local nonprofits, artists,and independent businesses.
We do this in an environmentally friendly way by reducing e-waste.” said Wes Warren, Founder of Digifli. “90% of our
monitors come from e-waste recyclers, keeping them out of the dump and providing them with a new useful second life.”
You can currently find Digifli boards at over 50 locations around the island such as Fireside Lounge, Books Inc.,
Pacific Pinball Museum, and Alameda Natural Grocery. More locations are being added every week.

“Customers and store vendors love how community oriented Digifli is. It’s great to be able to support other local
businesses in Alameda!” said Karen Katz, owner of Katz Meow on Park Street.

Digifli supports local nonprofits and charities providing free and deeply discounted promotions on the network. Every
advertising purchase allows the advertiser to select a local non-profit and Digifli donates free impressions to these
organizations. Digifli donates over a million ad impressions a year to local nonprofits.

” Digifli helps FAAS get the word about upcoming events.” said Carla Thornton, Marketing and Communications
Manager of Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter. “ Digifli shows pictures of our animals up for adoption and helps us
promote events like the Huge February Clearance adoption drive.”

Digifli currently promotes FAAS, Boys and Girls Club, Girls Inc. of the island city, and ArtPush.org. We are adding
more organizations every month.

“Connection through community and art is something I feel very passionate about. As the Director of Community
Outreach at Digifli, I am able to work closely with the local organizations and empower them to meet their goals. ” said
Jessica Warren, Co-founder of Digifli “ We promote fundraisers and events for several Alameda based nonprofits. I feel great
that we are able to give something back to these fantastic organizations that make Alameda such a special place”
